DRAMATIC VIDEOS show running gun battles with police in central Vienna amid ongoing terrorist attack
Cell phone footage of Monday night’s terrorist attack originally reported to be taking place near Vienna’s main synagogue shows a massive police response and officers exchanging fire with one or multiple gunmen.
In one video, filmed from above, a man dressed in white with a black balaclava can be seen going down a cobblestone-lined street and firing off several shots. Someone yells out a profanity in English, and the video ends with what sounds like a loud explosion.

In another video, a woman filming through the window of what appears to be a McDonald's captures an exchange of gunfire and a figure dressed in black – presumably a police officer – falling down. A streetcar passes by in the background.

There were several other videos from the same area, from different vantage points, showing security forces taking cover behind a building as they exchanged fire with the suspected terrorist.

The incident comes just days after Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said his government would fight against “political Islam.” Kurz made the comments after a group of 30-50 Turkish teenagers rampaged through the Catholic Church of St. Anton von Padua, shouting “Allahu akbar.”
